Steve:

The Applet model is that each invocation of an Applet in a VM will
download the classes, etc. needed by the Applet.  No caching, no Trojan
Horses, and complete control to the developer for updating their classes
in a single location without having to chase all over East NoWhere to
update client machines.

Each browser has a location where they store java classes, etc.  You can
stick stuff there, which basically gets it onto the classpath for the
browser and sometimes it works.  I don't know about it for the Mac. 
Aside from Swing really wanting JDK 1.1.8 these days, your biggest
hurdle will be dealing with any M$ landmines in IE <g>.

Do you just gotta have, no way around it, JFC in your Applet?  That's
really the sticky part in this whole game.
